What a day Saturday was! It’s been a while since I shot a wedding at Rudby Hall and it was so lovely to be back at this beautiful North Yorkshire venue (it’s also about 20 minutes from home which was a nice change after being all over the place for weddings this year!)

Bethan and Daryll had a beautiful flower-filled day and the sun shone from start to finish.. guests hung out on the grass playing garden games and were serenaded by a steel band - the perfect Summer wedding set up.

Laura and Paul planned a really relaxed and personal DIY wedding at Ingleby Greenhow Village Hall in North Yorkshire. The attention to detail and their wedding styling was just fab - loads of touches to reflect them and the things they loved.. and the whole day was about friends and family, hanging out in the sunshine and celebrating once the sun had gone down.. A perfect village hall Summer wedding.

What a couple, what a setting and what a wedding! It was my first time shooting at Wylam Brewery for Ellie and James’ wedding, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. I love how they mixed the industrial setting with incredible wildflowers and other details to reflect their personalities (Ellie’s Mum did the flowers and James’ Mum made the cake!) and the whole thing was a beautiful, chilled out celebration in the August sunshine.

When you mix North Yorkshire with Scotland for a wedding celebration in a field I guess it’s pretty typical that you have to throw some rain into the mix too? I heard it’s lucky for a wedding day, so there you go..

t was so lovely to see Gemma again and be part of hers and Michael’s beautiful wedding day at Hardwick Hall. The sun really shone and it was such a fabulous relaxed Summer wedding.. These two were so much fun together and it was a pleasure to be there to capture everything from Gemma laughing with her bridesmaids on the morning, the flower girls dancing in the sunshine, guests relaxing in the evening sunshine and killer dance moves when the sun went down..

Just look at these two! I absolutely adored Mark and Lucy’s wedding style.. they had a tipi wedding in the grounds of the Hammer and Pincers pub in County Durham with gin bottles, mix tapes, custom wedding art and illustrations.. it was so personal and so perfect.

Also Lucy’s wedding outfit - I’ve never seen anything like it (amazing work from BexBrides)! A custom made, feather embellished kimono style dress with tassels and sewn in touches from her Mum’s own wedding veil.. I could have photographed her in it all day.

It was so fab to be back at Middleton Lodge for Lizzie and Simon’s beautiful wedding. I love a day that is elegant and ends in a good party - such a good combination for a wedding! I’ve heard that it all ended in style down in the cellar bar at Middleton Lodge too.. It was an absolute pleasure to spend such a relaxed day with these two and their full-of-fun wedding guests - thanks again for having me as part of your celebrations! Here are a few previews for now… Congratulations again you two!
